The scale of illegal bird killing in the Middle East revealed for the first time

Poaching is usually hunting on someone else's land. More about land use and hunting rights than illegal killing or taking is it not? Which is probably why poachers often get a far better press from history than burglars and robbers.

A gamekeeper or farmer illegally killing protected raptors is never described as poaching them. I'm not sure you can poach on your own land.
